OCD and anxiety

Life can be intensely uncomfortable for anyone living with the paralyzing, unending anxiety of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders. We understand. We also know that as hard as it is to live with OCD and anxiety, sometimes it’s even harder to ask for help. When you or your child are ready, we’re here.

You can be confident in the Rogers team—internationally recognized in treating OCD with one of the most comprehensive treatment programs available for kids, teens, and adults. Our individualized approach empowers patients, helping them gain control of their symptoms so they can develop effective lifelong coping skills.

Comprehensive scope of care

You, your child, or your loved one will benefit from a carefully thought out vision of coordinated care in our safe and supportive environment. Overcoming OCD isn’t easy, but it can be done. We know that our treatment works. Outcome studies show that the vast majority of people respond well to our treatment approach. More importantly, our patients are living more hopeful lives free from the unending cycle of worry.

Psychologists and psychiatrists with expertise in OCD and anxiety lead a multidisciplinary team committed to helping you or your child to learn the skills needed to gain control of thoughts and behaviors related to:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and OC-spectrum disorders

Generalized anxiety disorder

Panic disorder

Social anxiety disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder

Family involvement is another key part of recovery, allowing for more effective treatment and easing the transition back home and to work or school. This includes family therapy and Parent University, a program that educates parents about treatment, recovery, and how to best support children’s mental health needs.

Our treatment approach

Our evidence-based approach has helped set the standard in OCD care, and includes:

Research supports that CBT, including ERP, is the most effective therapy for treating OCD. Rogers’ leading OCD programs use CBT and a high dose of ERP, facilitating high-quality and cost-effective care with proven results. With in vivo exposure therapy, patients have the opportunity to practice skills during real activities, both during programming at Rogers and also during outings in the community. You or your child will receive a personalized treatment plan for your unique needs which includes a comprehensive, but manageable, exposure hierarchy that becomes your road map for addressing your concerns.

Not sure what program or care option is right for you? Don't worry, we are here to help guide you in what option fits you best during your free screening.

We want to help.
